EVERY HORSE DESERVES A CHANCE!

Some very good information about "Rescues" or "unwanted surrendered horses"An unwanted horse is a horse that has, for one or more reasons, become unwanted by its owner. It may be a healthy horse that an owner can no longer afford to keep or feed. It may be a horse that is dangerous to handle and has injured (or is likely to injure) people. It may be a horse with an injury, lameness, or illness for which the owner is unwilling or unable to provide care. Some horses are no longer able to perform as their owner desires, whether that be for racing, pleasure riding, or some other purpose. A 2009 survey conducted by the Unwanted Horse Coalition revealed three primary reasons why a horse becomes unwanted:(1) changes in an owner's situation (e.g., employment status, ability to afford a horse, loss of owner interest in or use for the horse),(2) the horse is too old or injured, or​(3) the horse is unmanageable. Another survey performed by researchers at the University of California-Davis determined that many horses were relinquished due to owner-related issues, most notably financial hardship (52.4%). In addition, the condition of the horse played a role with 53.2% of horses appearing unhealthy upon arrival at the accepting organization. That survey also indicated most horses are relinquished voluntarily, with seizures only accounting for 15.1%.Please notice that the main reason for horses becoming rescues is due to the OWNER'S SITUATION, NOT THE HORSE ITSELF! PLEASE DON'T FAIL THESE ANIMALS DUE TO MISINFORMATION A RESCUE IS JUST THAT A RESCUE! IF YOU WERE RESCUED BECAUSE YOU GOT LOST HIKING IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU AS PERSON WORTH LESS BY ANY MEANS AND THE SAME GOES FOR THESE HORSES.
